The goal of this workshop is to prepare participants to work as mentors/facilitators with student teachers and/or beginning teachers.

We will examine varying approaches to supervision. We will consider the strengths, weaknesses, and uses of these models of supervision. We will practice using the models through microteaching and the supervision of lessons in class. We will consider the licensure requirements for work with teachers under PI 34. We will study the ten Wisconsin Educator Standards and how they apply to work with both student teachers and beginning teachers.

Participants will learn the basic principles of three models of supervision and apply principles of supervision in their work with teachers (student teachers, beginning teachers, or experienced teachers.) The participants will also be able to use the Wisconsin Teacher Standards to help novice teachers learn about their teaching practice.

Successful completion of the workshop will allow teachers to supervise and mentor student teachers and beginning teachers as required by PI 34.
